Battle in the Clouds is the third minicomic in the Masters of the Universe series. It was packaged with Mer-Man and Teela's action figures. The art was drawn by Alfredo Alcala.
Summary[]
After a fight, Skeletor is defeated by He-Man. He throws his helpless enemy into the sea where he is rescued by Mer-Man. The two villains team up and fire on He-Man's flying Battle Ram. They capture Teela in order for Mer-Man use her horse to reach He-Man's home. In spite of Stratos' help, the hero falls off his glider. Mer-Man rushes to the place where He-Man is lying and he manages to grab the power suit from the half-conscious, and now helpless man. In addition, he travels to Strato's mountain home to take the Battle Ram for himself. After the sea lord is gone, He-Man calls for Battle Cat who carries him to his friend, Man-At-Arms. The two take Man-At-Arms' Wind Raider to search for Teela. They meet Mer-Man on the Battle Ram and an aerial fight ensues. With the help of Stratos, the good guys finally gain the upper hand against their foe.

Notes[]
- Stratos and Mer-Man resemble their action figures more closely in this minicomic than in the other three issues of the first series.[1]
- Mer-man steals He-Man's power suit, but when He-Man visits Man-at-Arms, he is wearing the suit. Also, Mer-Man stole the suit in order to use its powers, but he never wears it.[2]
- At one point, Mer-Man defeats He-Man and strips him of his power garment, claiming to be super-strong merely by holding the power vest in one hand.
- Teela is shown with her snake armor. This is a mistake, because in that time it is the Goddess who wore that outfit.
- At the end of the story, Teela still remains Skeletor's prisoner, Man-At-Arms has made a dangerous fall onto a ledge and He-Man has yet to recover his power harnass. He-Man tells Stratos their next moves are to clear up these loose ends, but none of them are actually shown.
